ABOUT US

WHO ARE WE?

Founded in 2013 by a collector and enthusiast Scott Topliss, the website has grown far faster than expected.

birthyearwatches.com was founded in order to help people who want to buy a watch that marks a special event. Normally it is to mark someones birthday with a watch from the year they were born, but it also can be to celebrate an anniversary or a child being born.

With over twenty years experience in buying and selling quality watches, and a guarantee with every watch sold, you have total peace of mind that you are getting a genuine quality watch that will last for many years. And hopefully the watch will further appreciate in value!

Based in Leicestershire, England, we buy and sell Worldwide. Each watch is checked before being listed, and again once it is sold, to ensue it is running correctly. We use tracked shipping to ensure everything arrives safely, and that way we get another 5 star review on Trustpilot to add to the ones we already have.

How do we date watches?

It isn’t often easy! The best way to date a watch is by the serial number, but records are not always available. We also take account of inscriptions, original paperwork, model and movement dates and many, many reference books to give you the closest date we can. If a watch is dated with a ‘c’, it is circa the date shown.
